andy1874hmfc Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I never usually get this excited about a grand prix but this is set to be good. It is going to be the first formula one grand prix at night In the practise today Alonso was fasted (I suppose it isn't really relevant though because it is only practise). The Qualifying starts at 3pm (BST) tomorrow (saturday). The actual Grand Prix is on Sunday at 1pm (BST)http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/7629454.stm Hopefully DC can finish in the points:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised Hamilton didn't get pole postion but I think in general Massa is better at street races. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arse 'Friends' Dyslexic? Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Watched the qualifying and based on that the result could be decided upon who makes the least mistakes. If it rains then it could be complete carnage! If its dry then Massa should win. Not a Hamilton fan but I'd rather he wins the WDC than Massa.

Deek Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Good race. Turned on its head by the Piquet crash then, the absolute shambles by Ferrari in the Pits. McLaren ahead in the constructors race and Hamilton increased his lead in the drivers. Last three races should be interesting, with two on tracks where rain is normally prevalent.

Flux Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 It goes to show it is better to drive down the pit lane with a refuel hose attached to your car coming out in front of Sutil (again) - drive through penalty Coming in for fuel when the safety car is out on track drive through penalty plus 10 seconds stop and go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much was made of the fact that they turned the pit lane into a petrol swimming pool. However, the FIA will need to get their heads out of that great big red Ferrari behind if they are going to do that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the teams have fuelling rig issues like that on occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munch Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Shell at Maybury It was funny watching the Ferrari technicians running down the pit lane, to try to get the fuel rig of Masses car, the Williams Mechanics were laughing there heads of and shouting at them go on run faster. They were like the key stone cops, i thought they were going to try to hit the fuel release valve with a hammer as they could not get it to come off, it was funny.

Deek Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 That's a bit paranoid isn't it? Most of the teams have fuelling rig issues like that on occasion. I think Ferrari have a semi automatic re fuelling system Tazio which other teams dont use. I understand they have just thrown it in the skip.

I understand they have just thrown it in the skip. I'm pretty sure that the fuelling rigs are all identical and supplied by the FIA. They certainly were when refuelling was reintroduced.
